Sophocles’ Antigone Greek theatre tour

Overview

The production of Sophocles’ tragedy ‘Antigone’, directed by Themis Moumoulidis, is conducting its second summer tour across Greece. The modern interpretation, which explores themes of freedom, justice, and individual responsibility, features Lena Papaligoura in the title role, Meletis Elias as Creon, and Michalis Oikonomou as the guard.

Initially reported as returning to Kalamata after a previous run that drew over 50,000 spectators, the tour has since expanded its reach. The production, which shifts the conflict to a setting reminiscent of modern centers of power and decision-making, has reached approximately 80,000 spectators over 80 performances.

The tour, which included stops at the Melina Open Air Theatre in Volos and the Alcazar Garden Theatre in Larissa, is scheduled to conclude its cycle with a final performance at the Lycabettus Theatre on September 9.
